WHAT A DAY AT HELIOS RETREATS MALDIVES LOOKS LIKE
An invitation to the best week of your life may sound a little daunting if you never booked a trip with us before, we get that!
Here’s a little teaser to give you a better insight of what a day at Helios Retreats look like, so go on - have a little scroll.
7:30am
RISE & SHINE
But first… coffee.
What makes a retreat unusual from other holidays? We could easily come up with a dozen, if not hundreds of reasons to set the bar up high, but having a structured week from the outset that will keep you on a positive loop, energised and motivated throughout can be a game-changer.
There's no need to worry about planning. We'll happily take care of that for you. All you need to do is show up!
The Helios team is up early, ready to meet you with a strong coffee, tea, or getting some light snacks and prep you for the day ahead.
8:45am
ON YOUR MATS
At Helios Retreats, we like deep, meaningful experiences. Delve deeper into your spiritual journey as you’re awakened to an early meditation and energising Yoga practice.
Whether you’re an advanced practitioner or just dabbing into Yoga, we’re on hands to make your journey the most pleasant experience.
Our Helios yogis live and breathe this philosophy.
9:30am
THE WORK ROOM
Life at Helios is a combination of push and pulls, not just the yin to the yang of things, more along the lines of push-ups and TRX rows.
One of the highlights on offer is the chance to be coached by a stellar cast of worldwide trainers, part of our team.
Most of the Helios team have years of experience in their field. Master trainers at the world’s top gyms (think Equinox and above) and have one mission in mind: to offer you only the best workouts under the sun, no matter what level of fitness you’re on.
10:15am
EVERYDAY IS BRUNCH DAY
Realise your foodie dreams when you’ll literally brunch every day at Helios!
Staying in a 5-star luxury resort definitely has its perks. A complete selection of fruits and nutrient-dense foods for an awesome start to your day, keeping your energy levels elevated throughout the day so that you’re always on top form for all the burpees and squats by the pool.
11am
AND RELAX!
We’re not a boot camp.
Though we enjoy fast-paced workouts and sun salutations on repeat, we also appreciate time-off to chill by the pool or find a nice quiet corner for a good read or little snooze.
Explore the Indian Ocean in kayaks and SUP boards, snorkel and make the most of this idyllic escape seeking for turtles, manta rays and schools of colourful fishes.
You may want to soothe the muscles with a professional massage, the choice is always yours to make.
1pm
REBOOT, RECHARGE, REFOCUS
A wellness adventure like no other; this is Helios Retreats in a nutshell.
Dip in and out the activities as you please. But rest assured, there is always something on the schedule for you, from waking till dawn.
2pm
BURN FAT & FEED YOUR MUSCLES
From delicious salmon poke bowls to nutritious salads, we welcome you to a culinary extravaganza that will inspire healthier than ever habits on your return home.
We have designed daily menus with the chefs at Anantara to ensure you will be well-nourished and indulge your taste buds at every meal.
3pm
RALLY THE CREW, LET’S SAIL!
After lunch, we summon the crew to go on a boat trip searching for manta rays, turtles and sharks! No need to worry though, these are the harmless nursery sharks.
The Maldives is home to an incredibly rich marine ecosystem. The Maldivians work relentlessly to preserve its coral reefs to protect this natural wonder.
Going on a boat gets you seasick? No worries. Take some time off and chill by the pool in the company of a good book or spend the rest of the afternoon exploring all the 5 islands that surrounds the resort.
6pm
PARADISIAC NIGHTS
After quite a few workouts during the day, we need a proper refuel.
With six restaurants to choose from, this wellness escape offers a feast for all the aching muscles. Each gourmet dishes prepared for us is a highlight to always remember from this Oceanic escape.
It's now time to settle under the palm trees and starry sky for a cosy night in watching a movie in the outdoor cinema.
Can we live in paradise forever?
9pm
HIT CLOUD NINE
After a day of adventures, making every second of your holiday count, we hit the bed for some well-deserved R&R.
